Using a double boiler, melt together your beeswax, shea butter, apricot oil, and castor oil. Make sure you keep stirring until everything is evenly melted and mixed

Add the Spearmint Essential Oil, red powder and glitter one at a time. Use a whip or fork to stir in the powders evenly.

Carefully pour into your lip balm containers while also stirring – the glitter will tend to settle at the bottom of your container if you don’t keep stirring while you pour.

Let them sit for a few hours until ready to use

The consistency of this lip balm will be soft and easy to use from a tiny jar with a finger. If you want a bit harder consistency for tube lip balm containers, decrease the Castor Oil from 1.3 oz to 1 oz for this recipe.

Combining the making of two recipes that have similar ingredients is one way to be efficient and save time, while also creating some fantastic homemade skin care. Have fun!
